Il Profeta was recommended by a friend and it was excellent in every way. Just a terrific dining experience with a few friends. Every meal in our group of 8 was reported as excellent. The owner, his wife and staff provided the best service that we had in Italy. Do not miss this restaurant when you are in Florence and... More

went to this restaurant after reading a lot of positive reviews on Tripadvisor. You can't go wrong here. The restaurant is run by a family and all food is very well prepared. Try the tagliatta, The Rustico and the Bruschetta. Don't forget the profiteroles.... the best I ever had. More

Without reservations on a Saturday night and too tired to do much cabbing or walking to a restaurant, my wife and I literally stumbled on this place. Everything was superb - quality and timeliness of service by the waitstaff was great, but the star here is the food, all fresh and from the area. The menu allows you to pick... More

We visited this restaurant based on a recommendation from a family friend. He was right by saying the "lady is in charge" and she runs a tight ship. Service was excellent - the staff goes out of their way to make you feel special. Food was equally wonderful and the atmosphere was fun. My husband and I were traveling alone,... More

A busy restaurant so bookings recommended I think as after 8pm was when it got busy with a lot of reservations. Lovely restaurant indoors and there are some tables outside also. Was... More

We needed a couple of days to Digest this resteraunt , excuse the pun. All trip advisor reviews were outstanding and fair enough do comment that it was a touch on the higher price side. We also allowed ourselves to be guided by the proprietor who was very knowledgable and in retrospect we should have x checked the suggested prices... More

This is a nice little restaurant with very friendly and helpful staff. We were immediately made to feel very welcome and were given a guiding tour of our menu by our waiter. There are plenty to choose from on the menu and the food was of very good overall quality and quantity. I would recommend you to try and save... More

This is perhaps my favorite restaurant in the world. The Renaissance menu is fantastic (the Gratinata il Granduca truffle pasta dish is to die for,) the appetizers are little pieces of perfection and the chocolate dessert is out of this world. The service is 5 star. Claudio is a delight, greeting his customers in 5 languages and taking good care... More

The wait staff went above and beyond to make our meal a memorable one. They made you feel like you were a guest in their home. The food was out of this world. I highly recommend the Antipasto Rustica and the bruschetta with the award winning olive oil. Can't wait to go back again. More
